Dave glad to see you got some daylight to go out for some Musing.....but don't think your Bending has to be restricted to the daylight hours, some of the best stuff can be captured under the lights at night......happy Bending to you.

Thanks all for the welcome. You're all right, of course, I'd assumed that some kinds of night shooting would be possible too (it's something I will explore at some point). But when it comes to getting to know a lens I've never used before (and something so very different to what I've used before), it helps to be able to see what I'm doing if nothing else.... ;-)

I'd imagine that with reasonable artificial lighting and high ISO it should be possible to get some shots with a sharp sweet spot (anyone who has done it want to confirm?), but I'm also thinking that there's some interesting abstracts and "painting with light" type shots to be had too.

Not that I'd say no to a composer. If noting else I rather like the idea of doing some star trails with a Lensbaby.
